Elvis Andrus cards are now in my collection. Please view the video below to hear the story of how I obtained them. Sorry for the poor scans. My scanner doesn't do all that great with thick and graded cards.

Nice! I've got his minor league helmet from Frisco when he got called up and it's one of the coolest pieces of memorabilia I own. Great player and it's awesome you obtained those.

Nope, he did not have an autographed super. This is the one and only, true superfractor rookie.

I know right!!! I'm going to ask him what kind he has and look into getting me a much better one.

Thanks for all the congrats everyone. I waited over 10 months to get these, but they were certainly worth the wait. I still don't think it's hit me yet that I have them in my PC.
